The article is meh, but what is said in there is pretty much true.

Unregulated technology is something we have now : ai generation for example.

What is happening right now with the ai generation be text or image, is that they are the most privacy invasive thing there could be.

For example chatgpt/Bing chat, or Google bard. They take every bit of text, analyse it and use it for future prompts.

User do not know because it's too long to read their huge privacy policy.

And so people are puting in those prompts private elements, trade secrets, and elements they should not put in there.

Image generation is currently a huge copyright issue.

Worldcoin deployed balls, installed like art in multiple cities, with a camera to scan the eyeballs (and so their identity, as it seems to be unique for each person) of every person who just gazes into that lens. https://news.artnet.com/art-world/worldcoin-orb-ai-2341500

So non regulated tech is a huge anti-people / pro money mess.

For brain interfaces it may even be worse. Companies could just put ads in your brain directly, and everything that was described in that article.

I saw a little part of a movie some long time ago, no idea what it was. There was some brain interface allowing communication and displaying images.

When just enabled it was a huge mess adverts everywhere, noise ads, so bad that it would make that character unable to think and know what he wanted to do.

In order to get back into what he had to do he had to use dampener to remove all those ads and noise, all the mess.

And the first part with so much noise that we cannot do anything from our own will is what will happen for non regulated brain interface after enough people have adopted it.

And we may not have such brain "ad blocking" tech as in the movie.

I would trust a for profit company even less than the government.

Perso j'utilise enhancer for YouTube, il permet de bloquer les pubs sur certaines chaînes et de les débloquer sur d'autres.

Il a aussi une option permettant de les débloquer sur les chaînes abonnées. Cepdnant ça fonctionne à moitié, et la pub commence mais elle est sautée/bloquée immédiatement (avant les 5 sec).

Pour l'instant je n'ai peut être pas été inclus dans l'expérimentation, mais je n'ai vu aucun message.

Il serait aussi possible que Google utilisé chrome/chromium ou manifest v3 pour détecter avec plus de précision qui utilise un bloqueur de pub.

I see 7 posts too. Maybe setting to hide read posts has been checked. Not sure if it's available directly from the Web.

I see many many posts. Maybe you checked a setting to hide read posts.

Well it's not magic at least https://worldcoin.org/blog/engineering/opening-orb-look-inside-worldcoin-biometric-imaging-device

It's not a 360 camera. People have to be able to look at the dark spot where the glass for the cameras are.

Just hide your eyes or they'll scan you before you can beat the ball

What the hell is this? How can they even do this without getting deleted.

I'm not sure I understood it correctly. Do people just need to just look at the mirrored surface to get scanned, and they get a coin?

You don't know and don't have an account your bad! We have your eyes now!

Or do people need to read a privacy policy and accept everything before they get scanned?

There are issues like this. And Lemmy doesn't seem to delete cached content after some time. So text content takes something like 25gB just after 1 month on my instance. And it's not because of what we post, but just because of cached posts from communities on other instances.

So there should be an enhancement on this with the ability to delete automatically cached content after some time.

Not news. They already did since nfts exploded in popularity. Also they did give away free avatar nfts since then for some events.

They did pretty much since nfts exploded in popularity.

Oh no! Swearing.

Anyway yes it's shit. Got too used to sensor it that I always sensor it when writing. Either just an s or s*.

Nah. It's pretty much a stupid article.

You cannot own a letter. However if the brand is too close to another, there could be something to base a lawsuit on.

Given the difficulty in protecting a single letter, especially one as popular commercially as 'X', Twitter's protection is likely to be confined to very similar graphics to their X logo," said Douglas Masters, a trademark attorney at law firm Loeb & Loeb.

"The logo does not have much distinctive about it, so the protection will be very narrow."

Insider reported earlier that Meta had an X trademark, and lawyer Ed Timberlake tweeted that Microsoft had one as well.

As it's stated in the article, meta, Microsoft and hundred own a trademark. Which means a very interesting thing : This article is s*

Why didn't Microsoft and meta go after the 100 other companies who have a "trademark" on the letter x?

You can't own a letter.

I didn't read or watch the video yet, but if it works like the current superconductors, the magnetic fields will be repealed and cannot enter the superconductor.

However currently is it possible to make superconductors with impurities allowing the magnetic fields to enter (through the impurities) in the superconductor. This allow quantum locking / magnetic locking.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_pinning

However as said above, you need a magnetic field. So either a permanent magnet or by generating one with electricity use.

Another interesting thing is that superconductors allow to store electricity for an indefinite amount of time. Like you put eletrcitiy in it and it will still be in it after 20+ years. However it is not an infinite energy. If it generates work or it is extracted from there, it will dissipate. As the energy will be used up.

Well, with all the porn on twitter, it may be an appropriate name.

There are already jokes in brand names like from French :

Official "X" account Msi France

It's in a bit of a strange position.

It blurs the Images, but doesn't block the article or text?

Maybe for some people it can mean something, tho for me it's a bit of a not interesting feature. Like what is the purpose of bluring the image if I still get spammed with the article?

And this may be the real issue where you didn't get traction. The feature pretty useless for the majority of people.

For eu users : https://competition-policy.ec.europa.eu/antitrust/procedures/complaints_en

However not sure how it works, if you need to be directly affected as a company of user, or if you need to be a citizen to file a complaint.

I don't have the necessary detail and information to be able to file the complaint.

If you give the detail on how it works and why it affects competition I may be able to file a complaint.

Howerver from what I saw in news the EU and US are already collaborating in an investigation against Google. Not sure if it's true, current and on what exactly.

Bar soap needs to be cleaned/washed after use or it can become dirty/micro-organisms can develop on it.

Not sure how instances are advertised on https://join-lemmy.org/instances

However advertising new instances on a community may not be a very good plan.

The issue is in order to find your post on that community, someone would have to be subscribed on another instance, but that would mean that a new user would see that post (by some random magic because it will get 100% buried by the other content) by already being in an instance.

So why would the new user look at your post, click on the link and create an account your instance inseatd of just creating one on the instance where they got first?

For the users already with an account on an instance, i don't really know if it would really have traction. It would be like competing against the already existing instance + account switch or multi account use. (also same issue for the buried post maybe, tho if someone really wants to search for instances he could just go and look at that community).

So posting in a community may help slightly, but because it's not like a community where people subscribe for content, it may have a very limited reach.
